Reducing unemployment one friend at a time

Brad Choate is doing something novel for a friend who has fallen into one of the worst-case scenarios for the unemployed: Ron Pacheco's health insurance runs out in August, and if he can't find a job by then, he may be unable to find coverage for his son, who has been dealing with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma cancer.

The person who finds Pacheco a job will receive Choate's next-generation videogame system and all of its games: Ron's looking for a job in the technology sector. He's exceptionally intelligent and would be an incredible asset to any company. But due to his current status as a consultant-for-hire, he has found it very difficult to find full-time positions. It seems that many companies are unwilling to hire a consultant for fear that they may simply quit when it suits them and return to consulting. ...

I'm offering a reward for anyone that provides a lead that results in a full-time job with the family health insurance coverage they're needing.
